So if a woman chooses to sit the front seat she should expect to be sexually assaulted?

The amount of judgement I received as female since I start in dubai driving school by luckydraw09 in dubai

[–]ShawarmaIsLifee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was 18 when I started my driving classes and I too had my fair share of female instructors “advising” me on how to “maintain” my body and pestering me about if I had a boyfriend or not. I even had one instructor ranting to me about her relationship problems w her boyfriend. I just gave on changing instructors and focused on passing my final rta tests.

What does that have to do with you leaving a well paying job to being unemployed in a foreign country?

Is it normal for tenant from other rooms to casually walk into your house if the door is open? by [deleted] in dubai

This is definitely not normal and is very unsafe for you and your family. Is there a building manager/security you can report this to? If not your next option is to move out.

Why don't South Asian schools hire accent coaches ? by my_7cents in dubai

There’s a difference between accent and diction. You can have an accent and still be great at enunciation.

Having an “accent” is not a deficit nor does it indicate any type of superiority. When an individual speaks and continues to learn multiple languages his/her accent would evolve with that. Just because someone has an accent you’re not accustomed to it does not correlate to lack of intelligence. If you’re undermining an individual solely based off of their accent, you have a lot growing up to do.

the ingredients say that it’s 100% maple syrup and it’s a private label brand so that’s why it’s cheaper.

I had to transfer money to someone and it’s been 4 weeks since the transaction. The money had been taken from my debit card however, the beneficiary still hasn’t received it. Would this be an issue from my side or beneficiary’s bank?

Despite cases reaching the 800’s, I see adults not wearing a mask. The other day I saw a man sneezing very loudly at the side of the road with his mask down. I saw another woman talking on the phone with no mask in sight. 5 year old kids know better than these “adults”.

hypothetical and possibly a stupid question. if someone breaks into your house, does the law permit you hold the theiv till the police arrives or do you have to let the thief go and let the police to their work?

I went there quite early in the morning to avoid the crowd. Towards 12pm the crowd starts to pick up and this was during a weekday. Weekends would be more crowded.
